Alternate batteries

Post by alavin89 »

Hi, has anyone tried using batteries other than AA with their MintyBoost? What about lithium-ion batteries? What mods would I need to make? Sorry if it's simple, I'm new at this and appreciate any help!

Thanks,
Alex

Thank you for the resource. But do any specific modifications need to be made for a different size battery? Or can I simply swap the AA battery holder for another battery (with a protection circuit)?

No modifications are necessary to the MintyBoost.
